The Origin of Bliss

Chris & Dom: Okay Matt, you’re allowed one (1) song on this album to go batshit on

matt just starts whacking dom when he’s coughing which is cute but also funny

general plebs muser: knows the band’s name, listens to them but only likes dead inside, mercy and starlight

regular muser: listens to muse regularly, knows the titles of all the albums but sometimes fails to recall them correctly (exmp.: “ohh, wrecked whores and levitations? gotta love it, but i love the showbiscuit one more”)

muser: listens to muse every day, loves knights of cydonia, handler, psycho; realised that hysteria is genius, likes unnatural selection and new born

true muser: knows the whole discography by heart, came to the realisation that all muse songs are great without exception

mega muser: listens to muse religiously, loves stockholm syndrome, citizen erased, megalomania, micro cuts and actually understands the lyrics of fury

massive muser: listens to muse religiously, owns hullabaloo, aware of all the b-sides, loves the groove, jimmy kane, shrinking universe and host, thinks that con-sience is a masterpiece

supermassive muser: watched all the live recordings including 120px videos; owns HAARP and Live AT Rome Olympic Stadium, when bored sometimes subconsciously sings the guitar riffs of knights of cydonia

delux muser: watched some videos of george bellamy, thinks that ‘gothic plague’ and ‘rocket baby dolls’ wouldn’t suited them as a band name anyway

This is probably gonna be taken down, but while it’s up:

This took approximately 93 hours of work. I started in February and actually finished May 25, 2017. I had worked on it for hours every day and after school as well.

Sadly, I didn’t get to finish all I had in mind for it because school ended and I was using photoshop at the school, which I don’t have at home and can’t afford. :( I feel like this is okay enough it could pass as a completed animation! :)

It’s rotoscope with two layers of free hand animation on top of it. Each frame (~700 frames) took 5-9 minutes to trace for the rotoscope part. I have no clue how long the free hand parts took. The reason I was able to keep working on this without growing tired of it is because animation is something I am very passionate about and I would like to pursue it in my career. (CalArts please let me in I would die for you)
